Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

I was able to find files I needed to uninstall from root folders Spotlight wouldn't locate. Leopard's Spotlight doesn't give you access to them anymore, which is a HUGE MISTAKE. For the price of the new Mac Pro's you'd think you'd get a better search engine, not one that does less. It's slow because it's more thorough than Mac's old Find, but worth the wait. Thanks for making this app. I don't know if it's possible, but maybe the developer can make it do a quicker search at some point by giving us the choice to choose visible or invisible files. Great Job in creating this!

Excellent Utility! - Illostraight

I found out I can search system files in spotlight. It doesn't find invisible files, but I can get into the sys files by choosing 'other' and selecting sys files. Sorry if I misled anyone.
